Customer Led Innovation
Our researchers frequently seek opportunities to work directly with customers and we routinely deploy ethnographic methods to learn about customer needs and pain points. The customer is viewed as a partner in innovation and we encourage “dreaming with customers” about the future.

Balancing the Portfolio
